Good Luck, Bad Luck Lyrics

Howard Jones

The film script lies aheadChange the future, change the pastChoose the players, choose the roleCast of thousands, cast of fewImagination decides the plotPlay the good guy, play the badHere's the victim, here's the saintHere's the canvas, here's the paintGood luck bad luck who knowsGood luck bad luck who knowsThe world is peopled by many windsWhirling faster than the windSolving a dilemma of life and deathTrying to make some sense of it allNo good blaming the outside worldPleasure and pain are in the mindWhether we like it or whether we don'tWe found as much as we wanted to findGood luck, bad luck who knowsGood luck, bad luckGood luck, bad luck who knowsGood luck, bad luckGood luck, bad luck who knowsGood luck, bad luckWe can make it horror we can make it blueWe can make it slow time, make it moveThe director sits behind those eyesPlay it straight or in disguiseImagination decides the plotPlay the good guy play the badHere's the victim, here's the saintHere's the canvas and here's the paintGood luck, goodGood luck bad luck who knowsGood luck bad luck who knows?
